Chapter 17 The secrets involved in this group of human traffickers are beyond imagination.
"Don't make a sound, follow me! Do you all understand?" Tong Yuheng's voice carried a warning, and the remaining girls nodded hurriedly. They were probably terrified of being beaten by human traffickers these past few days!
Tong Yuheng untied the chains binding their hands and feet one by one, letting them move around a bit, and even took out cornbread from his storage space so they could eat their fill.
She led the girls out through the tunnel, then turned back halfway, threw them out of the space, locked them all in a cage, and took all the keys with her!
The winter night was exceptionally cold. The children followed closely behind the older girl in front of them, not daring to stop for a moment. Even when they realized they were in a graveyard, they no longer cared about being afraid.
It's about 20 miles from the city. The children have been scared, thirsty, and hungry these past few days, and they simply don't have the strength to last much longer.
Yu Ling and Yu Long each supported an eight or nine-year-old girl who was about to faint. The other children also helped each other and gritted their teeth to keep going.
Having finally escaped the hellish place, they were determined not to be caught again; the past few days had been absolutely terrifying!
Leaving this village, there was another village ahead. Tong Yuheng thought that there should be no one in the brigade headquarters at this time, and that all the villages around Yan City had telephones installed.
"Hang in there, everyone. I'll find you a place to hide."
Where could he hide? Tong Yuheng left alone, wandered around, and found a large pile of firewood outside the wall of a house.
She led everyone over quietly, letting them huddle together for warmth, and moved some down to cover them.
"Linglong, you two take good care of them. I'll go find someone to pick us up."
"Okay, big sister, be careful!"
"Try not to move, and don't cry!"
The little girls were very well-behaved, just nodding. Tong Yuheng quietly pushed some corn stalks over them and then went to find the location of the brigade headquarters.
Sure enough, there was a phone at the brigade headquarters, but it was locked in a wooden box. Someone was on duty at the headquarters, but they were already asleep in their dormitory. This didn't stop her. She still used her hairpin to unlock the lock and dialed the police station in her district.
She called Gu Zhitao's office, by which time her mother must have already contacted him to report the incident to the police. He was most likely in his office listening for news.
"Hello, who is this?" It was Uncle Gu's voice.
"Uncle Gu, it's me, Yuheng!"
"Where are you? Have you found Yuling and Yulong?"
"Found them! I've discovered the human trafficking hideout. They have guns. I've locked the girls up. We're currently in XX Brigade, XX Commune. There are seven girls with us; I brought them out too. They're too weak to walk, so you'll have to send someone to pick us up!"
"Okay! Wait for me where you are!"
Gu Zhitao immediately notified the police of his brigade to dispatch a jeep and urgently requested a truck from the transport team, and set off with more than a dozen of his men!
Tong Yuheng only waited for a little over half an hour before Gu Zhitao and the others arrived. She first led them to pick up the girls who were hiding next to the woodpile, and then had someone take them back to the station.
She then led the police to the village where the human traffickers were located. They went into the courtyard and into the basement to arrest several of the still unconscious traffickers.
"Uncle Gu, I don't want to be involved in this..."
This group of human traffickers must be involved in something big. They already have the Fan family watching them, and if they get targeted by an inhuman human trafficker gang, how can they possibly survive?
"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell them to keep it a secret," Gu Zhitao replied. "Don't be so reckless in the future. It's too dangerous for you to be alone; your mother is going crazy with worry!"
"Can we go home now?" Tong Yuheng felt hungry and wanted to take his two younger sisters home for dinner; it was already past midnight!
"I'll arrange for someone to take you!" Gu Zhitao stood up, ready to make arrangements.
"No need, Uncle Gu, the three of us can walk together without any problems. If the police take us home now, the neighbors will think we've committed a crime!"
"Are you sure you don't need to send it?"
"Really, there's no need. If any thugs run into us, they're just unlucky!"
"I'm not afraid you'll run into petty thugs, I'm afraid you'll run into those G Committee members..."
In the end, Gu Zhitao still insisted on sending two security guards to escort them, and they didn't leave until they entered the factory gate.
As soon as the three sisters entered the house, Tong Jiahui and the other sisters hugged them and cried. They didn't dare to cry loudly, for fear that the neighbors would hear and imagine countless versions of gossip.
Tong Jiahui did not let anyone know that her daughter was missing. If Linglong's classmates asked tomorrow, she had already prepared an excuse, saying that her father's comrade-in-arms had something to do and asked the two sisters to help, which was why she had to break her promise.
Tong Yuheng calmed everyone down. Because of their worries, no one had eaten yet, so Tong Jiahui and Yuyao rushed to the kitchen to cook a big pot of hot noodles.
The family ate a warm meal and went to their rooms to sleep. That night, Tong Jiahui tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly; Linglong had experienced a dangerous ordeal and had nightmares; Tong Yuheng, after working for several more hours in the space, simply slept in the farmhouse within the space…
The next morning, Tong Yuheng continued to lead his younger sisters in morning exercises and began to teach them breathing techniques. This time, even the youngest, Yuqi, did not cheat and practiced very seriously.
They deeply realized the importance of improving their combat skills. If it weren't for their eldest sister's prowess in catching the bad guys and rescuing Linglong, they probably wouldn't have made it back.
They practiced for almost an hour longer than usual today, and said they would continue like this from now on, so they wouldn't be afraid of bad people. It seems that Linglong's disappearance wasn't all bad; at least it made the younger girls more wary of others and determined to improve their kung fu.
Over the next few days, Tong Yuheng took Yuyao to wander around several black markets and scrap yards in Yan City, and the two sisters no longer separated.
They bought a lot of daily necessities on the black market; they also received some useful old books and well-maintained broken furniture from the scrap yard, which could be repaired and still used, and she quietly put them into her space.
Linglong was assigned to do housework and look after her three younger sisters. Tong Jiahui, fearing they might be in danger again, wouldn't let them leave the factory compound. Linglong didn't dare object and obediently complied.
Gu Zhitao interrogated the human traffickers overnight. Sister Yun kept her mouth shut, but Zhang Gouzi revealed a lot of things. The secrets involved in this group of human traffickers were beyond imagination.
The case has reportedly been reported to the municipal bureau, and the criminals have been transferred to higher authorities. Gu Zhitao did not disclose the specific details, but only reported on Tong Yuheng's situation in this matter and asked his superiors to keep it strictly confidential.
During this time, Tong Yuheng was secretly summoned and questioned about the events of that day. Tong Yuheng answered truthfully, without highlighting his martial prowess, but rather emphasizing that his success in knocking out the criminal involved a large element of luck.
I heard she is the daughter of a martyr, and I admire her greatly. I also said that she has made a great contribution this time, and I will send her the bonus and certificate in a few days.
